What is Juvederm Vollure XC?

Juvederm Vollure XC is the most recent addition to the Juvederm family of dermal fillers for patients who want to reduce facial aging signs without involving cosmetic surgery.

Juvederm Vollure XC has been approved by the FDA, and now holds the distinction of being the first and the only FDA approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler for the treatment of moderate to severe nasolabial folds for people over 21 years of age.

During the initial consultation the treatment provider will explain all about Juvederm Vollure XC and help the patient make an informed choice. Palm Desert Plastic Surgery, led by salient, innovative, and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q) provides Juvederm Vollure XC to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and other towns and cities in this part of the Atlantic coastline.

Proven Safety and Efficacy

The FDA approval for Juvederm Vollure came after a detailed clinical trial, which revealed some outstanding results. As an outcome of this trial, 59 percent of patients saw betterment in nasolabial folds and their results lasted for up to 18 months. Contrary to this, results of most other HA based dermal fillers last only for about six months to a year.

Apart from this, patient satisfaction index of this trial was highly encouraging. As many as 82 percent of the patients reported satisfaction after six months and 68 percent claimed continued satisfaction at 18 months.

Vycross Technology

The same Vycross technology which is used in Juvederm Voluma and Juvederm Volbella is also used in Juvederm Vollure. But the difference is that Juveder Vollure XC has been specifically FDA-approved for treating the nasolabial folds, which is the most sought after dermal treatment area among people who want to avoid plastic surgery.

The strong cohesive force between the molecules due to Vycross technology enables the filler gel to sustain for a longer time in the tissues without getting disintegrated. Results last for up to 18 months right from the initial treatment or after a touch up injection in the majority of patients. In the history of nasolabial non-surgical cosmetic treatments, this is the longest lasting result.

Juvederm Vollure was already approved in Europe in 2013 under the name of Juvederm Volift and it has been become popular in over 80 countries across the world.
